Waterton Lakes FTW!

Indeed Mr T, it looks like a nice spot!

Alberta may be full of rednecks, but at least we have nice scenery.

To make up for the off topic posts, here's a track from the new Peter Gregson album:

You might be thinking of Elk Island. Waterton is way down in the SW corner of AB, much closer to Calgary. Prairie grassland right up to the mountains. Go there in the Winter and you don't even have to pay park admission - at least you didn't last time I was there

Right, like I said it´s been a while. Waterton Lakes is the NP I used to pass on my way into the US in my motorhome.
And much more scenic than Elk Island.
We had both dinner at the hotel on the lake and stayed overnight there once, on our way down to Yellowstone.
But unlike the US where I have only been to concerts in New York and SF I did now and them make it to both the Vancouver/ Calgary/ Banff and Edmonton concert venues.
The really good thing with Banff apart from stunning scenery, was the annual chamber music festival.
Park fees? No problem, I used to have surprisingly cheap season passes for both Alberta NPs and Yellowstone/Grand Teton in those days.
I was often there for three to four months a year photographing.
Imho. the Canadian and US Rockies almost rival the Himalayas for stunning scenery

Elk Island is now where Edmonton's football team practises.

Today's chapter of "That's Not Classical!":
ORBI - The Oscillating Revenge of the Background Instruments - Fight Fire With Fire (that's right, the Metallica song)

The bassoon solo totally makes it worthwhile

Yup, it's Ireland with mountains and better beer!
